About this listen

RCMP detective Jack Taggart has avenged the murders of his niece and nephew, but the consequences linger. His deal with Damien, leader of the Satan's Wrath motorcycle gang, has put him in a bind and has jeopardized an informant in the gang. Meanwhile, other members of the gang, led by a mysterious figure known only as "The Boss", have been working to eliminate Taggart by destroying the lives of anyone with connections to him. And if the bad guys aren't enough of an obstacle, there are problems to be found on the force itself. Assistant Commissioner Isaac is becoming more and more suspicious that Jack may have been responsible for the death of a corrupt Crown prosecutor. With Jack's life and career on the line, Above Ground is a tough and gritty follow-up that will more than satisfy listeners who were pulled into the dark Vancouver underworld by Loose Ends, the first Jack Taggart mystery.

The English accent - was just an American accent with a few “right old chaps” and a lack of contractions. That’s not how the English speak. The author has also clearly never had Yorkshire puddings- which are a savoury batter puff the size of a small cup cake - served alongside a normal Sunday roast dinner - usually a sliced joint of beef and veg. It is not a meal on it’s own! No one would serve Yorkshire pudding. It is not a meal or in fact a pudding! Ruined the story for me along with the rubbish English accent. ( yes I am English)

Great but author’s ignorance spoiled it for me.

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Better narrator

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Gave up after 3 hours listening despite having nothing else to read so can't comment on ending

How could the performance have been better?

The narrator sounded as if he was doing a voice over for a cartoon and the voices were all annoyingly ridiculous

What character would you cut from Above Ground?

Connie, the police officer, whom the narrator made sound like Groucho Marx with a lisp

Dreadful
